DOOM on Nintendo Switch has been available for some time now, and if demon-killing on-the-go has lost its appeal a bit in the past few weeks, a new update for the Switch version of the game should give some entertaining new ways to blast demons.
Publisher Bethesda Softworks has announced that a new update has gone live for DOOM on the Nintendo Switch, with the update's big new features including the addition of motion controls to allow more precise aiming with the Switch in handheld mode.
In addition to motion controls, Bethesda also detailed that it has added a new party system for the game's multiplayer mode to allow players to group up more easily and find matches together.
Finally, the game's home icon on the Switch menu has gotten a new look to reflect the game's box art, while the update also includes some tweaks on a technical level, such as resolution adjustments, crash fixes, CPU optimizations, and more for the Switch version of the game.
